New Delhi: The stand-off with China which has entered its third winter, and India is on a massive infrastructure build-up along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Army goes for more tunnels and bridges along LAC
Talking further about the beefing-up process along the LAC, sources also mentioned that 150 kilometres of operational tracks had been constructed in the Northern Command, including permanent works like drains, surface and causeways constructed concurrently to enhance longevity.
They added a road would provide alternate connectivity to Western Ladakh and the Zanskar Valley directly from the Manali axis. It is a 298-km road that will be completed in 2026.
The road also includes a 4.1-km twin tube Shinkun La tunnel for providing all weather connectivity, which is likely to be approved by the Defence Ministry soon, sources said.
They added work was also on to upgrade the bridges on DS-DBO road, which would be completed middle of next year.
The Sino-Indian border dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute over the sovereignty of two relatively large, and several smaller, separated pieces of territory between China and India.
